BitArray Constructor (Byte[])
Initializes a new instance of the BitArray class that contains bit values copied from the specified array of bytes.
Namespace: System.Collections
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- bytes
- Type: System.Byte[]
An array of bytes containing the values to copy, where each byte represents eight consecutive bits.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | bytes is null. |
| ArgumentException | The length of bytes is greater than MaxValue. |
The first byte in the array represents bits 0 through 7, the second byte represents bits 8 through 15, and so on. The Least Significant Bit of each byte represents the lowest index value: " bytes [0] & 1" represents bit 0, " bytes [0] & 2" represents bit 1, " bytes [0] & 4" represents bit 2, and so on.
This constructor is an O(n) operation, where n is the number of elements in bytes.
